On Stanford University, It is an important topic in Silicon Valley. Recognized "Father of Silicon Valley" Fred Terman, the Stanford campus at an early age, he grew up in 1922, he was at Stanford University in chemistry and two master's degrees in electrical engineering, from Stanford University in 1924 to return to work. In 1937 he served as Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering. We all know so well that he is for his students and Hewlett Packard plans to build a well-known Hewlett-Packard.
Terman, a professor at Stanford in 1951 to create a research park. He and the then president of Stanford Wallace decided to land into money, then passed the money to hire well-known professor, became academic prestige. Their way is so simple - set aside 655 acres of campus land rented to engage in high-tech industries, then this is the Stanford Research Park.
Terman put forward the famous "cutting-edge academic" concept, which involves two levels of meaning, first, attract top talent. Means to establish another layer of the top departments. If Stanford University in 1920 is only a "University Village", but she will be among the best in 1960, 1985, has been named the nation's first-class university.
Early Palo Alto is a lot of engineers at Stanford University graduates, or graduate Terman. Later, Terman also specialized in Silicon Valley so that employees into the Stanford degree. As a result, the rise of Stanford University in Silicon Valley for the microelectronics industry has created conditions and at the same time, Silicon Valley has also helped the development of the Stanford University so that they can have today
